ERMOLAEV Abstract KUMATA, T., KUROKO, H. and ERMoLAEv, V.P. 1988. japanese species of the Acrocercops· group (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), Part II. Ins. matsum. n. s. 40, 133 pp., 1 table, 59 figs. (33 text·figs., 26 pis.). In Part II 25 species of Acrocercops·group occurring in japan are dealt with and are arranged in 9 genera, that is, 5 in Gibbovalva (gen. nov.), 2 in Melanocercops (gen. nov.), 2 in Phodoryctis (gen. nov.), 2 in Borboryctis (gen. nov.), 2 in Leucospilapteryx, 1 in Chrysocercops (gen. nov.), 4 in Telamoptilia (gen. nov.), 6 in Spulerina and 1 in Dendrorycter. Nine new species are described: Gibbovalva kobusi (host: Magnolia kobus), G. magnoliae (host: Magnolia ovobata), Phodoryctis stephaniae (host: Stephania), Borboryctis euryae (host: Eurya) , Chrysocercops castanopsidis (host: Castanopsis & Pasania), Telamoptilia tiliae (host: Tilia), Spulerina castaneae (host: Castanea & Quercus), S. virgulata (host: Quercus) and S. parthenocissi (host: Parthenocissus). Of them, Spuler· ina castaneae and S. virgulata are stem·miners and the rest are leaf· miners. Two new associations of synonyms are proposed: Gracilaria (1) ordinatella Meyrick, 1880 = Gibbovalva quadrifasciata (Stainton, 1863), and Spulerina lespedeziJoliella Kuroko, 1982 = Spulerina dissotoma (Meyrick, 1931). In connection with this study, Acrocercops elaphopa Meyrick, 1914 (occurring in India) is transferred to Melanocercops, and Acrocercops malicola Meyrick, 1921 (in India) to Spulerina. All the genera, whether new or not, are described in detail, and every known species is given the original description followed by an additional description. Genitalia are illustrated for both sexes, and wing patterns are shown by photographs. The wing venation and larval body chaetotaxy are also illustrated for some species. Further the genitalia and wing venation of the type· species of the genera Spulerina, Sauterina, Amblyptila and Lamprolectica are illustrated for comparison. Authors' addresses. T.

Abstract Available plastomes of the Lauraceae show similar structure and varied size, but there has been no systematic comparison across the family. In order to understand the variation in plastome size and structure in the Lauraceae and related families of magnoliids, we here compare 47 plastomes, 15 newly sequenced, from 27 representative genera. We reveal that the two shortest plastomes are in the parasitic Lauraceae genus Cassytha, with lengths of 114,623 (C. filiformis) and 114,963 bp (C. capillaris), and that they have lost NADH dehydrogenase (ndh) genes in the large single-copy region and one entire copy of the inverted repeat (IR) region. The plastomes of the core Lauraceae group, with lengths from 150,749 bp (Nectandra angustifolia) to 152,739 bp (Actinodaphne trichocarpa), have lost trnI-CAU, rpl23, rpl2,afragmentofycf2, and their intergenic regions in IRb region, whereas the plastomes of the basal Lauraceae group, with lengths from 157,577 bp (Eusideroxylon zwageri) to 158,530 bp (Beilschmiedia tungfangen- sis), have lost rpl2 in IRa region.

  • The Litsea Genome and the Evolution of the Laurel Family
    The Litsea genome and the evolution of the laurel family Chen et al 1 Supplementary Note 1. Sample preparation for Litsea cubeba genome sequencing For genome sequencing, we collected buds of L. cubeba. Genomic DNA was extracted using a modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) protocol. For transcriptome analysis, we collected leaves, flowers, and roots from L. cubeba in Zhejiang Province, China, using a karyotype of 2n = 24 (Supplementary Figure 2a). Genome sizes can be determined from the total number of k-mers, divided by the peak value of the k-mer distribution1. To estimate the genome size of L. cubeba, we used a 350 bp pair-end library with 93.08 Gb high-quality reads to calculate the distribution of k-mer values, and found the main peak to be 54 (Supplementary Figure 2b). We estimated the L. cubeba genome size as 1370.14 Mbp, with a 1% heterozygosity rate and a 70.59% repeat sequence, based on an analysis of k-mer-numbers/depths. We used k-mer 41 to obtain a preliminary assembly of L. cubeba, with a scaffold N50 size of 776 bp and a corresponding contig N50 size of 591 bp. Supplementary Note 2. Whole genome duplication analysis in Laurales The KS peaks for WGDs in L. cubeba are both younger (smaller KS values) than the orthologous KS peak between L. cubeba and V. vinifera, implying that the two WGD events are specific to Magnoliids. To compare the WGD peaks of L. cubeba and the speciation events in the lineage of Magnoliids, we performed relative rate tests and corrected orthologous KS peaks between L.

  • Phylogeny and Historical Biogeography of Lauraceae
    PHYLOGENY Andre'S. Chanderbali,2'3Henk van der AND HISTORICAL Werff,3 and Susanne S. Renner3 BIOGEOGRAPHY OF LAURACEAE: EVIDENCE FROM THE CHLOROPLAST AND NUCLEAR GENOMES1 ABSTRACT Phylogenetic relationships among 122 species of Lauraceae representing 44 of the 55 currentlyrecognized genera are inferredfrom sequence variation in the chloroplast and nuclear genomes. The trnL-trnF,trnT-trnL, psbA-trnH, and rpll6 regions of cpDNA, and the 5' end of 26S rDNA resolved major lineages, while the ITS/5.8S region of rDNA resolved a large terminal lade. The phylogenetic estimate is used to assess morphology-based views of relationships and, with a temporal dimension added, to reconstructthe biogeographic historyof the family.Results suggest Lauraceae radiated when trans-Tethyeanmigration was relatively easy, and basal lineages are established on either Gondwanan or Laurasian terrains by the Late Cretaceous. Most genera with Gondwanan histories place in Cryptocaryeae, but a small group of South American genera, the Chlorocardium-Mezilauruls lade, represent a separate Gondwanan lineage. Caryodaphnopsis and Neocinnamomum may be the only extant representatives of the ancient Lauraceae flora docu- mented in Mid- to Late Cretaceous Laurasian strata. Remaining genera place in a terminal Perseeae-Laureae lade that radiated in Early Eocene Laurasia. Therein, non-cupulate genera associate as the Persea group, and cupuliferous genera sort to Laureae of most classifications or Cinnamomeae sensu Kostermans. Laureae are Laurasian relicts in Asia.

While many studies have shown elevational patterns in species richness and species turnover, little is known about how multi- species interactions respond to elevation. An understanding of how species interactions are affected by current clines in climate is imperative if we are to make predictions about how ecosystem function and stability will be affected by climate change. This challenge has been addressed here by focussing on a set of intimately interacting species: leaf-mining insects, their host plants and their parasitoid predators. Herbivorous insects, including leaf miners, and their host plants and parasitoids interact in diverse and complex ways, but relatively little is known about how the nature and strengths of these interactions change along climatic gradients.

  • Moths and Management of a Grassland Reserve: Regular Mowing and Temporary Abandonment Support Different Species
    Biologia 67/5: 973—987, 2012 Section Zoology DOI: 10.2478/s11756-012-0095-9 Moths and management of a grassland reserve: regular mowing and temporary abandonment support different species Jan Šumpich1,2 &MartinKonvička1,3* 1Biological Centre CAS, Institute of Entomology, Branišovská 31,CZ-37005 České Budějovice, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] 2Česká Bělá 212,CZ-58261 Česká Bělá, Czech Republic 3Faculty of Sciences, University South Bohemia, Branišovská 31,CZ-37005 České Budějovice, Czech Republic Abstract: Although reserves of temperate seminatural grassland require management interventions to prevent succesional change, each intervention affects the populations of sensitive organisms, including insects. Therefore, it appears as a wise bet-hedging strategy to manage reserves in diverse and patchy manners. Using portable light traps, we surveyed the effects of two contrasting management options, mowing and temporary abandonment, applied in a humid grassland reserve in a submountain area of the Czech Republic. Besides of Macrolepidoptera, we also surveyed Microlepidoptera, small moths rarely considered in community studies. Numbers of individiuals and species were similar in the two treatments, but ordionation analyses showed that catches originating from these two treatments differed in species composition, management alone explaining ca 30 per cent of variation both for all moths and if split to Marcolepidoptera and Microlepidoptera. Whereas a majority of macrolepidopteran humid grassland specialists preferred unmown sections or displayed no association with management, microlepidopteran humid grassland specialists contained equal representation of species inclining towards mown and unmown sections. We thus revealed that even mown section may host valuable species; an observation which would not have been detected had we considered Macrolepidoptera only.
